PENCE HALL ADDITION COMPREHENSIVE STUDIO

Our main goal for the University of Kentucky College of Design (UK/CoD) is to integrate the existing programs of the college into one single location at the site of Pence Hall. Pence Hall has been the home of the College of Design since 1965 and is not a building that the College of Design should let go of because of its central location on UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus. Though in its current state, Pence Hall has insufficient space to house the entire college, causing the college to disperse into four separate buildings on UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus. there is room for expansion along the south west corner of the building. With Pence Hall being a central campus location, it is the ideal spot to showcase student and faculty work to the campus at large. Creating a visual transparency within the building gives the University of Kentucky community a chance to experience studio culture as they engage with Pence Hall and its surroundings. This transparency can lead to new partnerships throughout the campus population with the College of Design. Currently, each of the three disciplines occupy their own space on campus. The School of Architecture is primarily housed in Miller Hall and Pence Hall while the School of Interiors occupies a portion of Funkhouser. The Department of Historic Preservation, a small department within the college, has classrooms and studio spaces in Bowman Hall, Pence Hall and elsewhere on campus. Housing each discipline in a separate building has led to a definite split within the college that needs reconciliation. Each program within the college focuses on a different aspect of the design process. By implementing a full integration of Architecture, Interiors and Historic Preservation programs at the UK/CoD, students will develop a more thorough understanding of design as a whole. This integration will also begin to prepare students for their post educational careers where collaboration is essential. Thus, the revamped College of Design becomes a center for design integration where creative exchange can take place. The students and faculty at the College of Design will create a new identity for themselves on campus that could lead to potential partnership with other colleges on campus, and elsewhere. Not only will outsiders be looking at the new integrated College of Design for their creative potential, but the transparency within will give students and faculty the opportunity to reach out to create a new relationship with the University of Kentucky. Project in collaboration with Shelby Ewing.

The site of Pence Hall is centrally located on campus. Major pedestrian routes pass by all sides of the current building. Adjacent buildings surround Pence Hall on all sides, limiting the space available for an expansion or new connecting building. Zoning code requires a 30’-0” fire separation from the surrounding buildings, which will be a major contributor to the buildable footprint for the new College of Design.

PRA

Pence Hall is located along a corridor of campus known as “Funkhouser Walk”. Modifications to the building should still respect the historic center of campus. Pence Hall is located on the highest point along Funkhouser Walk, making it the tallest building in the immediate area. This positive attribute could add a new amenity to the college by building upwards, allowing for magnificent views of UK’s campus.

High Performance Facade Photo Voltaic Panels

Dec 21

South facing photo voltaic devices such as solar panels generate electricity directly from sunlight through an electronic process that occurs naturally in certain materials. Electrons are freed by solar energy and induced to travel through an electrical circuit, sending electricity to the grid.

7:51AM

Perforated sunshades provide privacy for building occupants without blocking views to the exterior. These high performance facades also work to shield the building from excessive heat loads and provide soft, naturally diffuse daylighting inside, reducing the need for artificial lighting as well as reducing the load on the HVAC system.

5:19PM

Green Roof & Skylights

Plants and Vegetation Vegetation suited to local conditions helps to mitigate the urban heat island, cleanse the air and water, provide oxygen and create peaceful settings to manage the stress of everyday life.

Rainwater Harvesting Tank Rainwater harvesting systems reduce non-point source pollution such as pesticides, fertilizers and petroleum products that end up in rivers and groundwater. Integrated on-site water capture reduces the waste and environmental disruption involved in centralized water distribution systems.

Building Preservation

8:02 PM 5:17 AM

Green roofs provide an effective storm-water management system by holding water in the substrate and then transporting it through the plants. The water is then returned to the atmosphere through transpiration and evaporation. Green roofs not only retain rainwater, but also moderate the temperature of the water and act as natural filters for any of the water that happens to run off. Filtered sky-lighting effectively improves performance due to change in working environment as well as reducing energy consumption, mildew and mold buildup and the need for artificial lighting.

Permeable Pavers

June 21

Permeable concrete pavements reduce storm-water runoff and improve water quality. Because they allow rainwater and snow to filtrate through the paved surface and into the soil, this system helps to conserve water resources and prevent flooding, while supporting pedestrian traffic.

Preservation of an existing building maximizes the use of existing materials and infrastructure, reduces waste, and preserves the historic character of campus.

South facing photo voltaic panels on the roof of our building would reduce the fossil fuel energy demand by 35%.

SUSTAINABLE FEATURES

Locally grown vegetation planted around the building’s site would reduce the heat island effect on campus.

SUSTAINABILITY

axonometric diagram

Managing on-site water using an underground rainwater harvesting tank would create a 30% reduction in water use by building occupants.

Preserving the existing Pence Hall College of Design building on campus reduces the demand for new materials by 25%.

Reducing pollution and land development impacts from automobile use by providing bike racks for more than 5% of building occupants.

The high performance facade allows 47% of the building to have natural daylighting without the unnecessary heat loss and gain of glass curtain walls.

Locally grown vegetation on the building’s green roof would reduce the heat island effect and carry water through the building.

Permeable pavement allows stormwater to penetrate the ground surface and reach the rainwater harvesting system, reducing up to 80% of storm-water runoff a year.

FRAGMENTED SPACE FURNITURE STUDIO

The furniture piece is a sideboard cabinet based on the fragmented of three architectural principles - lines, planes and masses. The structure of the cabinet is made using plywood with red oak veneer on the interior and mahogany veneer on the exterior. Aluminum was used as a secondary material throughout the project such as the routed inlays and the welded stand. The overall form the cabinet in plan is an eroded rectangular prism. The erosions allow people to better inhabit the spaces created around the form. The cabinet was made to be experienced in the round, therefore all fragmentation strategies have been carried through on all elevations. The middle section of the cabinet containing the storage represents a solid mass that has been sandwiched between two planes, the top and bottom irregular forms. The front face of the solid mass has been fragmented into four primary spaces. These spaces contain shelving and drawer units on a grid that was systematically determined by the programmatic needs of drink ware dimensions as diagrammed. Aluminum inlays represent fragmentation of lines as they penetrate the surface of the massing, breaking the spaces up into their various functions. In areas that require drawer pulls and handles, the aluminum inlays are oriented on ninety degree angles to the cabinet surface and pop out into an irregular form using the same proportions as the cabinet, allowing for optimum gripping.

STATEN ISLAND OPERA PERFORMANCE HALL STUDIO

The Staten Island Concert Hall project is an entertainment complex serving to contribute to the revitalization of the St. George Waterfront currently in development. Its architecture is a composition of two volumes merged together by stretching outdoor spaces and walkways. These fluid volumes work together to form integral zones and unique spaces throughout the site. The project is based on the ideas extracted from an initial material study exploring the forms created when wax morphs into its solid form while being contained within a boundary. When given structure to interact with, the wax stretches from node to node generating organic moments of solid and void. While solidifying movement is unrestrained, the final volumes offer an essence of the container’s invisible form. The large site model was created using CNC milled Medium Density Fiberboard, plexiglass and foam to represent the existing condition of Staten Island. A sketch model of the proposed topography is inserted into the site using contoured chipboard as portrayed in photographs. The final model is inserted into the site using a contoured plexiglass massing. All models are created at 1/32” = 1’-0” scale.

MODEL PHOTO

SITE The site strategy incorporates transforming volumes that map the moments of circulation and green space. The nodes translate into important spaces around the site such as the Ferry Terminal, Waterfront, Baseball Stadium and city. Access connections are formed between each of these nodes, symbolic of the structural vectors of the wax material study. Walkways then displace themselves around these connections, implying the location of the site’s boundary without it’s physical presence.

FORMAL VISUALIZATION

FORM DEVELOPMENT

The building form is derived from the site configuration of plazas, sidewalks, green spaces and water features. Between the four central plazas, a perimeter is established to control programmatic locations.

A second exterior space is carved through the body of the building, forming a terrain for the main stage to envelop. The space also activates itself through a pedestrian bridge that emerges through the facade.

An exterior space is carved between the theatres to designate the various programs into their appropriate zoning locations. Exterior spaces begin to span the gap between the parking and the stadium zones.

An offset supplies the back of house needs with a loading dock, so as to not disrupt activity on the waterfront. The service area comes up between the main stage and rehearsal stage for easy access to all preparatory locations.

Creating space for an elevated restaurant with outward views in all directions, the main portion is connected to the Concert Hall, merging the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various forms of entertainment.

An articulated mass is voided out of the Concert Hall form to convey the facade morphing down into the landscape. The absence allows light to enter the interior courtyard below.

HILLSIDE RESIDENCE HOUSING STUDIO

A rural ice cream shop resides on the hillside of Danville, Kentucky, overlooking an expansive landscape of rolling hills. Captivated by the experience these views provide, the shop’s owners wish to build a home on the site. My design of this home is to form a strong connection with the landscape in the building’s interior spaces as much as its exterior spaces. Wide, sliding floor-to-ceiling windows open all of the rooms up to the outside, framing an arresting panorama of water, trees and the land’s dramatic contour. The residence is influenced by a cinematic approach to design, conceived so that its spaces can be understood by a visitor only as they unfold - frame by frame. As visitors descend through the home, they are provided various glimpses of the surrounding landscape, with the procession ending in an overall view of the countryside. The gradual understanding of one’s surroundings imparts a sense of spatial fluidity, blurring the boundaries of interior and exterior spaces.

The rolling landscape serves as the focal point to the design. Every space within the house has a framed view of its surrounding, which leads the viewer from the road into the courtyard, through the threshold of the house, and finally down into the walkout basement where they are given the view shown in the photograph to the right. The integration of natural forces activates the building’s interiors, blurring the borders between inside and outside. The play of natural elements is intended to challenge the everyday experience of the inhabitants as they embrace the outdoors. PHOTO SHOWING VIEW FROM SITE

The basement living room represents the final sequence in the cinematic design scheme, surrounded by expansive window walls. A landing overlooking the living room offers visitors a sense of place through subtle glimpses as it opens onto a public rooftop terrace. Only by descending from the terrace and placing themselves in the vicinity of the living room can they view the entirety of the landscape as it extends into the distance. A private rooftop terrace can be approached through the vicinity of the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bedrooms. Located at the highest point of the home, the owners have access to their personal view of the countryside.

DESIGN / BUILD PERSONAL WORK

A client presented me with the opportunity to redesign their backyard. They requested the design to incorporate a central entertainment area with three major spaces wrapping around it - a space for reading, a space for their existing fire pit and a space for a goldfish pond. The property line on site is located close to the home to the right, with an expansive opening to the left. My design highlights the privacy of the yard by extending a patio off of an existing deck and fencing off the backyard getaway to the right while leaving the remaining perimeter open to the surrounding yard. The patioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiration was derived from the curves and textures of their existing fire pit, as well as the color scheme of the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building materials.

PLAN

Planters curve the boundaries of the patio, separating each of the programmatic spaces. In one instance, the planter curves down into the stamped concrete, framing the location of the fire pit. A reading nook is carved out of the planters on the left, where two trees envelop the reader with optimum shade. The focal point of the backyard getaway is the goldfish pond, as it extends off of the deck with views from all areas of the patio.
